property management: Preparing Your Single Family Home for Lease in Metro Atlanta
- 03/15/14 01:09 PM
Preparing Your Single Family Home for Lease in Metro Atlanta One of the changes I have seen with tenants looking to lease single family homes is that tenants are more than ever interested in treating the homes they lease like it is their own. They are more interested in maintaining the homes and fully decorating their rental as if they were purchasing the home. Considering this attitude from today's tenants, it is important that today's landlord take on a fresh perspective when considering potential tenants interested in renting an owner's home. Owners need to pretty take the same care and concern … (9 comments)
And you don't any pictures of the post renovation. You buy the property for investment purposes looking to flip it first and if that doesn't work then rent it out. Your agent, the listing agent, puts the same picture in the new listing that was in the old listing. Buyers and renters want to SEE those renovations you completed. The words in the description are a promise, but have you completed the work. And you haven't completed the work, what is the expected date for completion? Buyers and renters are trying to plan their … (3 comments)
property management: Being Thankful for the Basics
- 01/08/14 01:25 PM
Being Thankful for the Basics Today I am very thankful for heat, eletricity and water. The weather across metro Atlanta has wreaked havoc on many homeowners and businesses. Busted pipes and flooded spaces inside and outside of homes and offices are common place for the last couple of days. And the city's licensed plumbers, insurance adjusters, and emergency responders are absolutely swamped with calls for help. While I sit here warm in my home typing this blog post, I recall spending several hours yesterday tackling a busted water pipe in one of the homes that our office provides property management services. … (23 comments)
property management: Black Toilets and Blue Floors - Have You Seen Such?
- 12/11/13 02:23 PM
Black Toilets and Blue Floors - Have You Seen Such? One of the not so fun but necessary tasks of Property Management are 'clean outs' from previous tenants. A 'clean out' is simply going into the property after the tenant has moved out and getting it cleaned up and prepared for the next tenant. If the relationship with the tenant(s) is strong, then we conduct a Move Out Inspection together and note any changes and need for repairs. If the relationship is not so great - meaning the tenant(s) has most likely been evicted or asked to voluntarily move - … (9 comments)
property management: Expressing Thanks Today - My Tenants
- 11/04/13 01:50 PM
Expressing Thanks Today - My Tenants I sent all of my tenants an email today to 'thank them' for being good tenants. Yes we have had some bumps in the road, but I think we have some of the best tenants in metro Atlanta. What makes these tenants special? For one thing they really try to 'own the home' so to speak. They like to think of there home as their own. They express pride in ownership when they don't actually own the properties. Another thing I like is how they take care of the properties. They do whatever they … (5 comments)

property management: Successful Property Management Services Follow Fair Housing
- 01/28/13 04:21 PM
A recent press release from HUD highlights the importance of practicing fair housing laws when trying to get a home rented. A synaposis of the story is a real estate firm had a two bedroom unit for rent. A mother with a child inquired about renting the unit which happened to be above the office of the property manager. The property manager explained to the applicant that the unit is typically not a good fit for children because of the office being below. The applicant then files a complaint with HUD. I would venture to say that the property manager was … (6 comments)

- 11/14/11 08:15 AM
When a landlord works with a property management company in Georgia, the landlord wants to be sure that the property management company is tied to a licensed real estate broker. The status of the property management company's real estate broker can easily be verified by the Georgia Real Estate Commission at their webiste. Once the property management company has located a suitable tenant, a part of the negotiation of the lease agreement involves the handling of repairs. Depending on the experiences of both the landlord and the tenant, the handling of repairs can be a nightmare issue. The landlord wants minimal phone calls … (0 comments)

property management: Don't Wait Until They Are Three Months Behind
- 08/05/11 09:35 PM
In Atlanta, GA there are lots of folks who are performing property management and not treating it as a business. They put an ad on craigslist, get a tenant with a bunch of cash, and sign a lease agreement they purchased online which does not comply with current Georgia landlord/tenant law. Tenant moves in and is paying rent for a while and everything is O.K. Mr. Landlord/Homeowner in Atlanta, GA, you must be more serious about the business of property management. Then the month comes when the tenant does not pay the rent on time. So Mr. Landlord/Homeowner in Atlanta, GA, makes mistake … (4 comments)
